Hey Y'all!
Sometimes you can get overwhelmed with all of the card making techniques and supplies you have. It's so much fun to do all of that stuff, but sometimes you just need a quick and easy card. Or, you're like me, and you ordered some beautiful DSP (Designer Series Paper) and you need to use it up! To make room for more, right?
So today, I want to share 2 simple cards, one is very basic, and one is a stepped-up version. Here is the first one...
Isn't that butterfly beautiful? Another demonstrator, Patty Bennett, shared how she stamped the butterfly image from A Beautiful Day onto a piece of Painted With Love DSP, then fussy-cut the image. I love how that turned out, and I think it "pops" against that black Petal Passion background. But both of these collections of DSP are retiring! So if you love them, you need to hurry and order them before they are gone. The 2018 Occasions Catalog retires May 31, but paper, embellishments, etc., are on a "while supplies last" basis.
Card Measurements: Whisper White Base 8-1/2x5-1/2, scored at 4-1/4
DSP Layer-4x5-1/4
3-3/4x3 piece of DSP to stamp butterfly
3x1/2 strip of whisper white for sentiment
Easy-peezy, right? But, let's step it up a bit, because sometimes you just want to be fancy...
Pretty much the same layout, except I added an embossed strip of Melon Mambo cardstock (5-1/4x2), punched out my sentiment with the Pretty Label Punch, added some baker's twine, and "blinged it up" with the Clear Faceted Gems. But they aren't clear because I colored them using my Dark Rich Razzleberry Stampin Blends (available to order again June 1).
So if you are 1 pack of DSP away from being on an episode of "Hoarders," break it out and start making some cards! And when someone gets a card you handmade, I promise they will feel so special and loved.
